I'm linking to libgio and using the VolumeMonitor class to retrieve the current mounted volumes. When i call get_connected_drives, it should return a list of drives (usb mass storage, cd drives) but it returns an empty list.
I made certain that i ran my program as root also.
Any ideas?
Updated: added example. Also i found with further investigation that it only returned an empty list when i ran it with root privileges. Is there something about linux that i don't understand?
VolumeMonitor monitor = VolumeMonitor.get ();
// Print a list of drives connected to the system:
List<Drive> drives = monitor.get_connected_drives ();
foreach (Drive drive in drives) {
print_drive (drive, "Connected");
}
